Dallas Mavericks

The Mavs’ doubtful draft

If history is any indication, this year’s draft won’t make a difference

It’s a challenge landing productive players in the draft. Dirk Nowitzki – one of the Mavs’ greatest draft day accomplishments – was acquired in 1998, more than 15 years ago. An argument could be made that Josh Howard,
drafted way back in 2003, comes in second. Aside from the recent draft of Justin Anderson, the Mavs haven’t drafted and played a pick in eight years. This year probably won’t be different, as the Mavs surrendered their first-round pick in the
Rajon Rondo trade and don’t pick until No. 46.
